I didn't ever want you to leave,
but it was too hard for us to stay.
My heart is a broken mirror,
my life the shards
of bad luck.
You are the hammer that struck,
and yet I didn't want you to go,
but you made me feel
my life flowing away.
You made me doubt,
when I know myself inside out.
You made me question my intentions,
when I knew I wasn’t
after any outside interventions.
You made me feel
constantly on trial,
When my only crime
was to be myself
once in a while.
I didn't want it to end,
I never wanted those
arguments to descend,
nut I never asked for you
to bend my good thoughts,
ensnaring them
into the mesh
in which they were caught.
My eyes never looked elsewhere,
my heart
was a fish trapped in your
net of distrust.
All I ever wanted
was what was there,
but the once steel boat
on which we sailed
had started to fatally rust.
See here's the thing
you never loved me.
I get that now.
you loved the me that you
thought you could mould me to be.
It was all just a ripple on an ocean,
a wave on a sea,
a moment of beauty,
that crashed into the waters beneath.
You loved what you wanted me to be,
but that was a suit
that didn't fit the body.
I never regret. Life is too short,
and through the hurt there
where lots of laughs, lots of love.
Just incompatible.
My heart was a screw
and you were a hammer,
I was toothpaste,
you an orange juice slammer.
